always keep your eyes on the ground, for you never know where you might be treading. yes, keep you head held so that you may clearly see your goal, but doing this may cause you to tread on unpleasant things. this can be applied to very practical things, such as having bare feet. if you don't look what your stepping on, you may find yourself with a very nasty bee string, or scratches from a very angry cat. this concept also applies (more metaphorically, of course) to how one goes about reaching that goal you are pursuing. you may have a precise crystal clear idea of where you want to go. you map out your route with thought and precision. but if you don't keep your eyes on the ground you may tread on your morals, values, and, most importantly, the lives of others. from a distance you may not see that your carefully planned route intrudes on the space of others, overlapping their own roads. if you reach your goal and look back on your journey, you may find your feet caused a rampage of destruction. angels tread lightly and carefully; they pay careful attention to where their foot falls. is not mans greatest goal to be as the angels?
tread lightly, for these are my dreams
